A simple sketch of a girl in a long dress holding up a frog. Her dress has ruffles at the bottom and along the sides of the front panel, with three large buttons on the skirt. She has a long ponytail with a big bow. The background is a simplistic watercolor-style pastel green gradient with white stars.

You can find more information about the character (including a version of this image with a transparent background) at the following link:

and now for day 4 of #SpectacularSpookoween! the prompt here was "teacup", but since it's Saturday we had an extra challenge to add star(s) somewhere in our piece! the hands holding it belong to my OC Stella (link in img desc) <3

[ #teacup #stardust #stars #galaxy #spaceart #hands #ocart #starry ]

An image of hands grasping a teacup full of stars.

The hands have dark skin and black nail polish. They're wearing black fingerless gloves with studs on the back. There's a star-shaped stud on each of the four non-thumb fingers, and circular studs that make the shape of a star on the back of the hand.

The hands belong to my original character, Stella. You can find more information about her at the following link:
https://toyhou.se/5421416.stella

The teacup itself is plain and white. The liquid inside shows a galaxy with a multitude of stars inside. There's a cyan galaxy at the top right, and a pinkish purplish four-pointed star shaped one at the bottom left.

This piece originally had a transparent background. To see it in its full glory, please go to the following link:

The third day of #SpectacularSpookoween! as a pastel multicolor horse enjoyer, the only option for "Sun and Moon" was to doodle these two princesses lol

[ #mlp #mlpfanart #princesscelestia #princessluna #laptopwallpaper #computerwallpaper #digitalart #fanart #alicorns #cutiemarks #sisters #mlpfim ]

Fanart of Celestia and Luna from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

In the center are a combination of their cutie marks. Celestia's sun is on the left with four rays of sunshine coming off of it, and Luna's crescent moon is overlapping it on the right. The background for each half is the same as their fur color, with white on the left and black with navy blue splotches on the right.

On top of their cutie marks is a bust of the princesses. Celestia appears on the sun's interior, and Luna on her crescent moon. They're looking at each other with a smile.

#SpectacularSpookoween day 2! this time the prompt was "snails", and I couldn't resist making #trafficsmp fanart lol. the WL snails were so cute!! I mainly referenced @cherrifire.art's sticker designs <3

[ #grian #scottmajor #pearlescentmoon #goodtimeswithscar #smallishbeans #inthelittlewood ]

An image of the six winners of the Traffic SMP / Life SMP turned into their snails from Wild Life.

Grian, winner of Third Life. His snail has brown hair + a maroon shell with a red blanket on top. 3 hearts (green, yellow, + red) are on his shell, denoting his season. He's falling, bc his final death was to fall damage.

ScottMajor / DangThatsALongName, winner of Last Life. His snail has tricolor blue hair with a sprig of green on his forehead. His shell is light blue with a simplified 3-color half-rainbow on the back (yellow, orange, red). In the center of his shell's swirl is a single heart cut in half, denoting his season. 3 lightning bolts are near him, bc his final death was a /kill message + final deaths are accompanied by lightning bolts.

PearlescentMoon / Pearl, winner of Double Life. Her snail has long brown hair + a lighter brown shell. She's wearing a black leather jacket. A red heart appears on her chest with a red string coming off of it, denoting her season. At the end of the string is an explosion, bc her soulmate ended himself with a piece of TNT to give her the win. She looks sad.

GoodTimesWithScar / Scar, winner of Secret Life. His snail has 3 scars (1 on his face + 2 on his tail). He has dark brown hair + a green shell with a brown hat. He has a scroll around his neck, denoting his season. His snail is winking + covering his mouth with his tail.

SmallishBeans / Joel, winner of Wild Life. His snail has light green skin, a brown shell and hair, + has a leaf on his head. He's holding a d6, denoting his season.

InTheLittleWood / Martyn, winner of Limited Life + Past Life. His snail has blonde hair, a black bandana, + a green shell with a white swirl. His snail is curled up, in the center of a rewind symbol with tick marks around it (a combination of his two seasons).

day 1 of #SpectacularSpookoween! the theme here was "baked goods" :3

I chose churros + pan dulce / sweet bread because me and my love found a bodega near us and were sharing our faves! I still prefer my churros, and he still loves his sweet bread, but it was a fun lil experiment ^^

An image of two churros and two pieces of sweet bread. The left churro is dipped in chocolate, and has some dripping off of it.

oof, good luck!

I usually try to keep my TH images hosted on TH, I have a private "character" for it n' everything. that way I don't gotta worry about any site beyond the one I'm currently using them on lol

CrescentCaribou @crescentcaribou.bsky.social · 12d

I think the infographic is really good (as you can probably tell by how many times I've linked it to folks, if you get notifications for that lol)

if I were to add anything, maybe a mention of non-animal alterhumans? like angels and concepts and fictionkin

CrescentCaribou @crescentcaribou.bsky.social · 12d

this is a pretty good infographic on the topic ^^

you don't have to hit all the boxes btw, I myself only fit like five-ish!

Are you an Alterhuman? It's more likely than you think

CrescentCaribou @crescentcaribou.bsky.social · 12d

this is a pretty good infographic on the subject! not everyone hits all of these boxes (I myself only fit like five-ish), but these are some of the more general experiences that make someone identify with the label(s) :3

I personally use CashApp, but afaik it's not available in EVERY country which can be a bit frustrating. usually I just use PayPal for obtaining funds, then immediately move it to my CashApp

My two ponies are now officially ten years and four days old!! the original DeviantArt DTA was posted on September 24th, 2015 :3

toyhou.se/567208.coffe...

A picture of two My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic OCs on either side of a cake.

The one on the left is an earth pony stallion with white fur that has brown splotches, each brown splotch filled with white splotches. His mane and tail are short and pink, while his eyes are blue. He's sitting on the floor in a dark brown party hat, gazing at the cake with a smile.

The one on the right is a pegasus mare with dark brown fur. Her legs are all a light creamy shade of brown, and she has two more splotches of this color on her chest/stomach and forehead that each end with a point. Her wingtips are a slightly darker shade of brown than the rest of her fur, and they match her hooves. Her mane and tail are both long and fluffy, while her eyes are a shade of pink. She's standing on her hindlegs while leaning on the table with her forehooves, looking at the cake in excitement with a big smile and outstretched wings.

The cake itself is coffee-themed, and is meant to be a coffee cake. It's a light creamy shade of brown that sits on a white platter, which sits on a brown table. Small dark brown coffee bean shapes line the bottom of the cake. The front of the cake faces the viewer, showing a design on its side: A square of a slightly darker brown framed with blue and pink icing with another bean shape on each of the four corners. In the center of this square is an even darker brown "10", signifying how long the characters have existed for. On the top of the cake sits two objects: a white to-go coffee cup with a light blue sleeve and a pink lid on the left side, and a pink expresso coffee cup with fake brown liquid inside it on the right. On the top of both are candles, lit with a bright pink flame that serves as the image's light source. On the cake's surface near the bottom of the cups, even more of these bean shapes are scattered.

new oc drawing just dropped! started this a month or two before artfight lol and finally had the time + energy to finish it lmao

A redraw of the "Go for it, Nakamura!" manga cover but with my OCs. It reads "Go for it, Natalie! art by CRESCENT CARIBOU"

The character in the center is a pale girl with long curly blonde hair. She has a short white sleeveless dress with blue straps and colorful stars on the front. A longer colorful semi-transparent skirt goes over it, and you can see white socks with pink stripes on them. She has a pin cushion bracelet, and a blue satchel with pink straps and colorful patches.

The character surrounding her inside of star and heart shapes is her crush -- a pale were-rabbit with dyed pink hair and blue flower-shaped eyes. She's albino, as you can tell by her white fur, roots, and eyelashes. She's also part of the decora fashion subculture, as characterized by an overly-complex outfit (many hair clips, necklaces, etc.).

The chibi octopi from the original manga cover are replaced with chibi rabbit heads.

everypony is LOVABLE, everything is BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED, the action scenes are COOL, the music gives me BRAIN WORMS

yea Twi fucked up but it feels in-character!!

plus, it's not even one of Those Movies™ that's forgotten about in the mane show!! we get to revisit the hippogriffs and Seaquestria!!

A screenshot of the Rotten Tomatoes website's review of "My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)". The Tomatometer rates it at 48%, giving it a green splatter mark.

The description in the screenshot reads as follows:
"Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity embark on an epic journey to save Ponyville from a dark force. Along the way, the Mane 6 meet new friends and face exciting challenges as they travel beyond Equestria to defeat the evil Storm King and his minion unicorn -- Tempest Shadow."

some more artfight attacks!! :D

y'all I'm having so much fun on these-

A scene of two fantasy critters play fighting on the deck of a ship. The pose is modeled after two cats, with them seeming to bat at each other lightheartedly.

The creature on the bottom is a sort of shark-ferret hybrid, mostly grey with some white spots of white on its stomach and face along with black on the tips of its fins. It's wearing a red collar with golden stripes.

The one on top is a white griffin with gold accents. Its beak and forelegs are a light shade of brown.

A dragonborn choking down a medicine bottle like how a snake eats an egg.

The dragonborn is dark green with yellow on the tip of his face. His horns, spikes, and teeth are a tannish color. His eyes have purple sclera with orange irises and thin black pupils. He's wearing a hooded holographic jacket that has a mix of cyan, white, light purple, and mint green and a strip of pink fabric going down his sleeve.

An arrow pointing to the bottle in his mouth tells us that this bottle is a "Jar of multi vitamins" along with the ":}" emoticon.

A drawing of an Earth Pony OC from MLP:FiM jumping over a glowing yellow crescent moon.

The pony is tan with spots of brown, white, and a lighter shade of tan sprinkled throughout his body. On his chest is a brown four-pointed star. His cutie mark is a white constellation in the shape of a question mark. More white constellation-shaped markings appear near the bottom of his legs. His fetlocks (the fur on his lower legs) are cut, showing dark brown hooves the same hue as his mane and tail. Said mane and tail are cut short, with streaks of a lighter brown. A braid is seen in his mane. His eyes are a dark forest green.

When it comes to accessories, this stallion has three. A pair of brown half-moon glasses sit atop his muzzle, a colorful bead bracelet decorates his left foreleg, and his ears each have a light-brown stud earring in the shape of a four-pointed star.
